SUMMARY:Speaker at Spa in Me Retreat
DESCRIPTION:I’m honored to be teaching at this year’s Spa in Me Retreat\, hosted by the lovely Sandra Foreman\, a leader in women’s self-care wellness coaching out at the beautiful McKinney Roughs Nature Park. This retreat is all about building your self-care toolkit and refilling your cup amongst like-minded\, hard-working women. \nFor my portion of the retreat I’m leading a hands-on class on formulating aromatherapeutic shower fizzies – a tool I use in wellness plans for my clients to unwind from a hectic day or set the right tone at the start of your day. I chose this activity because it gets our creative juices flowing\, we get a little messy – don’t worry\, I’m bringing gloves! – and everyone walks away with a wellness tool they can whip up for themselves and their loved ones year-round. \nSandra interviewed me recently in her podcast show about this event and you can find the recording on Apple\, Spotify\, and Stitcher.

SUMMARY:Hydrosol Distillation Class
DESCRIPTION:Hydrosols are a delightful part of the world of aromatherapy! Join me for an introductory class on distilling hydrosols. In this 4-hour class participants will explore the process of distillation from preparation of the still and botanicals through to collecting the hydrosol and\, in some cases\, the essential oil. Using a pyrex glass still allows participants to see the entire distillation process as the steam travels up through the botanical material and returns to its liquid state via the dual-chambered condensing tube. \nClass fee is $55 and includes the textbook ‘Aromatic Waters’\, and a 2 ounce bottle of hydrosol to take home. We’ll formulate with hydrosols during various phases of distillation and enjoy a potluck lunch. After lunch we’ll enjoy an aromatic dessert flavored with a hydrosol. \nRegistration is limited to six (6) participants to ensure hands-on time for everyone. Cancellations are accepted fourteen (14) days before class. In the event the instructor has to cancel refunds will be given within fourteen (14) days. \nAmy Kreydin is a clinically trained aromatherapist through R.J. Buckle Associates and an aromatic medicine practitioner. She distills hydrosols from her apothecary garden and teaches a course on hydrosols as part of her Professional Aromatherapy Certification program. Amy is the author of Aromatic Waters: Therapeutic\, Cosmetic\, and Culinary Hydrosol Applications.
